Risk of Ruin vs Drawdown Risk?
When you calculate the risk-of-ruin (ROR) you define the probability of your loss from your original account balance, so for example, if you started trading with £1000, if your risk of ruin was 20% then you have a chance of losing 20$ of your balance or £200, but as your equity gets larger due to winning trades your ROR decreases.
When you calculate your risk-of-drawdown (ROD) the drawdown will be the same through the lifetime of your account because the ROD will only get bigger if the losses in your account are lower than the previous highest drop. So, the difference between the account equity and balance is lower than at any other time, the is the highest drawdown amount.
How to Read The Results
